Phantom Switch; Led; Peak Detector; Gain Control - PROEL PLAYMIX 6 User Manual

4. +48V phantom switch
This switch engages the phantom power on MIC Input. Most professional condenser microphones and active
DIBOX require phantom power, which is a lower DC voltage delivered to the microphone on pin 2 and 3 of
the XLR microphone connector. Dynamic microphones do not require phantom power, however phantom
power will not harm most dynamic microphones should you plug one in while the phantom power is on.
Check the manual of your microphone to find out for sure whether or not phantom power can damage it.
5. +48V LED
This LED shows if the phantom power is on or off for the correspondent channel XLR input.

6. PEAK detector

The PEAK LED indicates that the input signal is near to the CLIPPING point.
IMPORTANT: if the LED PEAK flashes, reduce the level of the input signal using the GAIN control and/or the
PAD switch.

7. GAIN control

The gain control adjusts the input sensitivity of the mic and line inputs. This allows the signal from mics and
instruments to be adjusted to optimal internal levels.

8. LOW CUT switch

This switch cuts low frequencies below 80 Hz at a rate of 6 dB per octave. We recommend that you use the LOW
CUT filter on all connected microphones except those for kick drum, bass guitar, bassy synth patches or recordings.
These aside, there isn't much that you want to hear below 80 Hz and filtering it out makes the low frequency you
want much punchier and more defined. The LOW CUT filter can also help to reduce the possibility of feedbacks in
live situations, and it helps to conserve the amplifier power. Another way to use the LOW CUT filter is in
combination with the LOW EQ on vocals during live performances. Many times, bass shelving EQ can really benefit
voices, but adding LOW EQ also boosts stage rumble, mic handling clunks, and breath pops.

9. HIGH control

This control gives you up to 15dB boost or cut at 12KHz with a "SHELVING" curve shape. Use it to increase or
reduce the sound "clarity" or "brightness".

10. MID control

This control gives you up to 12 dB boost or cut at the frequency determined by the FREQ knob (see FREQ
next) with a "PEAKING" curve shape. Use it to add or reduce the sound "presence".

11. FREQ control

This knob ranges from 250 Hz to 6 kHz and determines the center frequency for the MID EQ. This allows you
to select the precise narrow band of frequencies you want to be affected by the MID EQ.

12. LOW control

This control gives you up to 15dB boost or cut at 80Hz with a "SHELVING" curve shape. Use it to increase or
reduce the sound "punch".

13. FX/AUX send control

This control sends the signal to the internal Digital Multieffect processor and to the AUX SEND output. This
signal is post-fader or, in other words, it depends on the position of the channel's FADER.
